Classic and Nomad, Yes. Drifter, No.
It takes two people, at least on my 2005 1500 vulcan classic. There is a window on the bottom right side of the engine. Hold the bike level and look through the sight glass.
To change the oil pump, you will need to remove the engine and split the crankcase. The oil pump is inside the crankcase. Oil pump is about $160.00, but many hours of engine tear-down and rebuild. Not recommended for persons with little mechanical ability or tools.
there is a site glass on right side of engine about mid ways of brake petal Where should the oil leve be in the site glass when the oil level is full?
